As a seasoned psychotherapist with personal experience overcoming anxiety, I’ve dedicated my career to helping adults navigate anxiety-related challenges. Having conquered my own anxiety decades ago, I bring empathy, insight, and practical strategies to my clients. I specialize in supporting adults aged 50 and beyond. By recognizing your unique life experiences, I tailor interventions to enhance your well-being. My focus is on fostering resilience, promoting effective coping skills, and improving meaningful connections to empower you to lead a fulfilling life beyond anxiety.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
"I finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. I was stuck in the same place for years before finding Susan. I needed Susan because she had been there and knew what to do, and thank God I found her." G.H. In your first session with me as a seasoned psychotherapist, you can expect a warm and supportive environment. We begin by exploring your current challenges and goals, allowing me to understand your unique experiences and needs fully. Together, we establish a collaborative plan tailored to address your specific issues, focusing on practical strategies and coping skills. By the end of our first session, you'll have a clearer path forward and a sense of confidence in tackling whatever challenges you're facing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
What makes my approach unique is not just my professional expertise, but also my firsthand experience with the challenges and achievements that come with aging. Having navigated my own journey of self-discovery and growth, I am dedicated to helping others find fulfillment and empowerment as they navigate the third act of life. "I've been on autopilot for years. With Sue's help, I reconnected with the things that actually mattered to me, like volunteering at a horse farm. Now, everything I do feels so much more meaningful." M.C. Your time, and your life, are precious--don't waste it. Book with me now. I'm looking forward to meeting you soon!
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
"I recently retired, but I still couldn't figure out why I was so restless, even when things were going well. After a few sessions with Sue Taylor, I realized I was disconnected from what I really wanted. She helped me tap into what I truly want, and now I can actually say that I enjoy life in a new way without feeling anxious all the time." S. P. As we navigate the third wave of life, it's common to encounter challenges that seem insurmountable. For many of us aged 50 and above, the journey forward can be daunting, marked by fear, uncertainty, and a sense of isolation. Despite our wealth of life experience, seeking help can feel like an uphill battle, hindered by barriers such as fear, shame, and ageism. This is where I step in. Through psychotherapy, I provide a supportive space to address these challenges, offering guidance and tools to navigate them effectively. Psychotherapy can empower you to overcome obstacles, regain confidence, and discover renewed purpose in this important phase of life.
